#Far-right activists from Germany spent US election day at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago

As Donald #Trump gathered his supporters, family and friends at Mar-a-Lago on US election day last month to wait for the results to trickle in, a small group of far-right #Germans went largely unnoticed.

Among them was the:
- Purported semi-professional, one-time porn actor
- Self-confessed former cocaine user
- Convicted thief and hard-right candidate for the German parliament Phillipp-Anders Rau

Together with a compact delegation of young political activists and influencers, Rau posed for the cameras with the American president-elect at his invitation, chanting “Fight! Fight! Fight!” in English and German.

Members of the Alternative für Deutschland ( #AfD ) party had already been making inroads with the Trump camp
